i don't understand this part:

"that Sappho died around 570 so it is therefore valid to use 570 as a date for their analysis and, then, for people to conclude that Sappho was writing in 570. "

is that a ridikulusly strong prior? i don't understand how one estimates the date of publikation of a pome when assuming a date of publikation. am i missing something?

also this appears to be published in the 0.00 impact faktor, thai "Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage". prof. cuntz appears not to be a complete joke though, he has published most of his papers in high impakt jurnals. this paper seems like a bar chat that was done for entertanement, the qestion is why it was published in a jurnal instead of just pushed to arxiv, espeshially this jurnal.

i say this is more an indiktment of the media, not of prof cuntz. any good jurnalist wuld know to check the qality of the sorce and immediately realize that this is just a playful exersise, not a serius paper.
